all i ever heard about are DA...if so what else do you need, just the trailing arm? what about the upper arms?

 

yes they fit

just the trailing arms

 

just so i am super clear on this...

i can do the rear disk swap on a 90 hatch using 96 gsr trailing arm/brakes?

all i ever here about is DA and CRX disk swaps....why is the DC never mentioned if it works too?

 

yes it works, but I guess people usually favor the others because you don't need to source other ebrake cables

 

actually, the E-brake cables from the integra will work if you get creative and bend/move the mounting brackets. the spindle and wheel bearing/hub assembly on the integra is a bit larger, so it widens the rear track about half an inch or so, but its not really noticable, and you shouldn't get any rubbing problems unless you have some really wide wheels with a low offset.

 

they will both work

 

yes, i just put 93 Si trailing arms on my 91, but they are wider? hum i hope not.

 

they shouldnt be any wider. i'm pretty sure you need ebrake cables from a car that had rear disks. the DA ones work, but they are a little long. cheap though at a salvage yard

 

like I said, they are only a tad wider, its not the arms, its the bearing/hubs. And this goes for DA integras as well as the EG/DC. I put the hubs next to eachother, and the 90+ integra, and 92+ civic hub/bearing assembly is around 3/8" taller, which makes the wheel stick out a bit more.

and also, like I said, you can use the DC ebrake cables on the ED/EF civic chassis, you just need to bend the brackets a bit (i've done it). If you have a CRX, you'll neeed 90-91 crx cables though, as they are shorter.

 

thats good to know

 

When I used DC trailing arms I had crazy positive camber when I was finished. I had to buy a kit to fix it. Other than that its all good.

 

what upper/lower control arms did you use? i used the DA trailing arm and EF control arms and had about-2 deg.

 

yes, when you swap over any integra or other rear disk trailing arm/brake assembly, you need to re-use your civic toe compensator arm, and the civic rear upper control arm to keep your alignment in check.


Also, many junkyard brake swaps come with bent trailing arms, since a lot of those cars were in accidents, and its not always easily noticable until you get them on the car.. I went through two sets of trailing arms before I got ones that were straight on both sides.

 

i was lucky and found a junk DA that was unharmed in the rear, and smashed up front. so i only had to do it once. thats more than enough. i used DA front upper/lower arms and that worked fine. although i think the DA is 1/2" wider. I was going to use DA rear upper/lowers but i was concerned about tire rub
